This is my homeland, and yet it feels so foreignWent for my first tutorials today, and I was like
O.O when I saw the class. I can't believe that I'm the only local student in the whole tutorial group, what's more, all the foreigners are from okay-I-dont-have-to-mention-where-they-are-from-here-but-I-know-everyone-should-know-who-I-am-referring-to.
Was kinda amazed at the stuffs that they do during tutorials. Sleeping, playing with phones, trying to come up with gawd-knows-what new physics equation. E=mc^5? I thought they only do such stuffs in junior colleges and secondary schools. But in university?!! Maybe they're just gifted, talented, smart, or they're extremely hardworking... Or they already learnt such stuffs in kindergarten?!?!!!
Now I know why everyone said that it's super duper difficult to do well in EEE. Bell curve + presence of these people = cui gpa. It's highly competitive. In fact all engineering courses are competitive. It's difficult to score, and yet it's a dumping ground. (Ain't it ironic?)
TOUGH AND BUMPY ROAD AHEAD TO PULL UP GPA. BUT I WILL PERSEVERE! >:(And it's ridiculous when students are not allowed to swap classes using the system. Had to personally make a trip down to the school to request for a change. *prays hard that my class swapping is successful*
I believe that if you do not allow students to swap tutorial groups using their system, you should at least have a fair ratio of locals and foreigners in a tutorial group. If everything is really computer generated... Like seriously what are the odds of getting into a tutorial group with NO locals? The same group of peoplez are with mez for threez of my corez modulezsxszszszszsz. LIKE HELLO WHERE ARE ALL MY DEAR SINGAPOREANS?!!!!! >:( >:(
There are seriously too many of them. This place is
infested with them.
Okay let's look on the bright side. At least I'm able to ask them questions when I have a problem? I'm able to suck their knowledge? Suck their yang qi! :D
RAWR done venting out all my frustrations. Time to listen to recorded lectures.
